    Not sure who I want to win. Both teams present problems for us, but I would rather outshoot the Lakers than be forced to outshoot the Blazers. Davis will kill us, but he's a turn around and soft post player keeping us out of foul trouble and helping on us on the boards. But if the Lakers do win, they will have figured out how to shut down a team just like us. Mixed feeling. But this series has all the drama. Good tv.

    You gotta love brokeback CJ McCollum. Doing whatever he can to keep up and playing big in the final minutes to seal a win.

    Astros won. Rockets won. Now all I need is for Lebum to lose to complete the perfect trifecta for today.

    Portland has some dude named Wenyan Gabriel guarding him, to start the game.

    Dude is essentially a rookie. If AD is that good, he should be demanding the ball.

    I wouldn't even call it an upset if Portland beat the Lakers.

    can you imagine harden just flinging himself into danny green and throwing up a sideways shot and the refs saying it was in the act of shooting like they just did for dame? i mean he might get the call, but it'd be a cold day in hell before they said he was shooting. it's amazing the respect players not named harden get on certain calls. lebron looks 10 pounds heavier and 5 years older since the bubble started. washed king, man.

    We found it.

    We found a team worse at making wide open 3’a than the Rockets

    whiteside is moving at .5x speed out there, and it's contract year for him. surprising
